Donald Trump's cabinet picks come under US Senate spotlight: Know about fiery hearings process

Hindustan Times  

Donald Trump's cabinet nominees go under the microscope in a frenzied week on Capitol Hill starting Tuesday, as US senators hold confirmation hearings that could make or break their political careers. The Trump picks have been in stringent preparations, taking part in mock hearings and coaching on how to negotiate tough questions while still maintaining unswerving loyalty to the president-elect. "This time, people view the nominees as an extension of Donald Trump and his agenda," Sean Spicer, Trump's first White House spokesman, told CNN. But former Florida senator and foreign policy hawk Marco Rubio, Trump's pick for secretary of state, is a sure bet with bipartisan support, and will likely be confirmed before Trump takes office on January 20.
